MIAMI — Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says the Miami Marlins are soon expected to choose a winning bid from among three investment groups seeking to buy the team, and all have offered about the same amount of money.

The three groups are working on financial structuring, legal issues and due diligence in preparation for a purchase, Manfred said Tuesday.

"When that process is complete, the Marlins will pick a winning bidder," Manfred said, "and I'm pretty confident that that will happen in the relatively near future."
